For many years, scanning documents and storing them on microfilm or microfiche was a popular way of archiving old data. Academics and historians would archive old newspapers and magazines onto microfiche, saving space and allowing for relatively fast retrieval.
When microfiche was at its height, it made sense to use it instead of trying to store documents on computers because storage space was limited and computers were slow and difficult to use. Times have changed, and it now makes sense to use microfilm scanning to convert your old microfiche to digital format.

Microfilm scanning is a delicate process, but the good news is that it is something which you only need to do once. After your documents have been converted to a digital format, you can search and retrieve them in seconds using your computer, and even link it to existing databases. This is a boon for organizations which have decades of data to work with, and will save a lot of time should old information be required during an audit.
Documents can be converted to PDF, or Word format, or saved in any popular image format. Microfilm scanning preserves the quality of the image seen on the microfilm, and gives you a digital copy of that file which you can back up, copy and manipulate in any way you wish. It is fast, efficient, and easy, as well as a good way to save space in your office.
If you have a huge library of documents archived in microfilm or microfiche format, it makes sense to update that library today. Do not wait until you are in a position where you have a huge library of information stored in obsolete formats and no capability to read that data. Act today before it is too late.
